Buzz Lightyear Mission Log:

All signs point to this planet as the location of Zurg's fortress.  But there seems
to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere....

                                          -- Buzz

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of TELORINTHE!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Warriors--remember that glory waits 
always around the corner!  Witness how this week DEATH'S CHOSEN went 4-1-0 to move up 
3 in the rankings.  My praise to OLDIES for their 4-1-0 week this time out.  Indeed, 
it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice!  FHUME caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested LETTER SWEATER and was awarded 
25 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, PEP RALLY put 
down GUSHAN, causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the process.  Unwilling 
to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster BUZZ challenged SIMPLETONGUE last week in 
a match to decide the fate of the throne.  Although SIMPLETONGUE made a valiant 
effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious BUZZ.  Heed this!  A 
seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall 
perish!  Just remember...5 or 7!   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  My inside sources tell me that the 
team to beat in TELORINTHE these days is OLDIES.  At least, most blades in town are 
looking to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of REJECTS are catching the bulk of 
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  Mighty 
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  CONFESSION take warning!  
You have more than a few enemies in TELORINTHE.  At the gambling halls I have started 
to bet money on WASNIS.  He has got the courage it takes.  Witness his challenge this 
turn against REVENANT!  Truth to tell, WASNIS did not come out of the fight a winner, 
but he managed to capture much attention, gaining 2 in recognition.  A match that 
raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that VODI posted a challenge 
against the more highly recognized CONFESSION.  The results, you ask?  Well, the 
firebrand VODI lost to CONFESSION.  Remember warriors, this is the discipline of 
steel.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  The warrior's path is harsh.  For mediocrity there is but one 
reward--death.  This past week THE, at 7-11-0, departed TELORINTHE forever.  Some say 
a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms.  One thing is sure, better a dagger in 
hand then a sword on the belt!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy 
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  Till we meet 
again, remember:  a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a 
lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Buzz!  Duelmaster!  Salute.  I expect a grand DM column from this fellow. -- Coach

It will be interesting to see if there were any votes...Reggie's outfield, first two
points, senior antics. -- Coach

Fhume -- I didn't smell anything, so I just went ahead and did my job. -- Letter
Sweater

Revenant -- I was going to give you a lot of Our Father's and Hail Mary's, but just
send money. -- Confession

Ishtar -- Your sticking power was superb.  Well done.  My motor is missing out. --
Draggin Main

Foe -- Did you have to ruin our fun? -- Pep Rally

Fi -- I think I just stuffed you in the commode and flushed you.  I think I like this
gig. -- Custodian

Rabid -- Great.  I win a round of nasty shots. -- Melancholia

Carloi Noble -- If you're a noble, where's your crest? -- Helga Hoarfrost

Eye -- Been a while since I faced my own.  Thanx for the practice! -- Paraldoxia

Genericky -- Still workin' on the heft of that thing, but it's workin' out. -- Gushan

Make Me Holy Again -- Brave challenge, and you did wear me down.  But I've had a lot
of experience with your sort. -- Cyclidia

No hard feelings, Reaper, as Helga is not a "typical" for her sort.  I'd have to
agree regarding Never Sleep--time for fresh blood.  To Buzz, well done.  Stop by
Eldritch Concoctions for a free night on the house.  Now, I've got to attend to my
first Duelmastery, so until next time, Salute! -- Michael Eldritch

Letter Sweater -- Well fought.  And for the record, I don't think that your manager
REALLY lost any sleep on you!  You've earned a respite.  Therefore, as far as we're
concerned, the bloodfeud is fulfilled. -- Revenant, elected voice for Death's Chosen
concerning non-binding contracts that are set without preconditions (I'm Azaziel, and
I support this message!)

Pep Rally -- I appreciate your prayer, and the training! -- Morwel

Draggin' Main -- Shall we try this again?  Azaziel has dealt with the weaponsmith
that sold us that faulty sword, and I think I might just do better!  See you on the
sands. -- Rizzyn

Buzz -- Congrats!  Michael's buying, see you there! -- Azaziel

Buzz -- Ohh Craps!  I knows that was winnables if only I'd stuck outs the strategies
for just anothers minutes, and then it would've been me's as duelmistresses! --
Simpletongue

Golden Sombrero -- Too tall and quick for me, I've been humbled.  But give me five
turns or so, when you're far gone and out of reach, and I'll start talking trash. --
Torportly

Coach -- Chalk me up for a vote on number two (basketball story).  Hope to hear it,
or more specifically, read it. -- Sherman, mgr. Invidiots

Prins Rikard -- I was so like warned about you and how like weird you are but I've
already fought a grody Vodi and a Bloody Stool so how much weirder can a name get, ya
know? -- Gossipid

Coach -- Thanks for the welcome & good to meet you... Be careful of that Oz chap's
advice BTW... Apparently rumour has it he's not all you might imagine when you look
behind his curtain!! -- Spawn

Dark Oracle -- Now I am confused, but I'll work it out!! -- Spawn

Parvo -- Can I say ouch! for you??!! -- ROFLMAO

Flea -- You're an itch we just don't seem to be able to scratch... -- IITYWTMWYBMAD

Letter Sweater -- Apology accepted!  This time. -- Azaziel

Vodi -- At least the fans loved it!  And I do this for the fans. -- Rizzyn

Confession -- I've heard of hail marys, but jazzercise is uncalled for! -- Revenant

Wasnis -- Kiss, kiss! -- Morwel

Pep Rally -- Deal, but you have to stand on my shoulders!  Don't worry, I won't look
up...much. *wink* -- Morwel

Buzz -- Well done on remaining on top!  Stop in at Michael's and recharge your
batteries on me! -- Azaziel

Tick -- Eew, yuck!  Where is my needle? -- Ileosa

Hal -- I realize that German is probably not your native language (bits and bytes
being more your style), but "Zeitgeist" refers to the "spirit of the time," not "time
delay."  Just hoping this might help get my messages out of the "get to later" bin.
*wry grin* -- Michael Eldritch

Steal Home -- Hmm...perhaps a slightly different angle next time. -- Cyclidia

Eye -- Hey!  You're not who I was after.  You've got at least one eye, so next time,
look out! -- Paraldoxia

Detour -- I really do dislike you... -- Gushan

Toa Jaller -- Heh, nice moves.  Nice learns too...see ya around, Convincian. -- Helga
Hoarfrost

Quadruple Bogey -- I figured I couldn't win that fight, so at least you proved me
right. -- Melancholia

Coach -- I could help beef the personals better if mine got listed.  As for the vote:
Senior Antics. -- Michael Eldritch
P.S.  If the Scribe is listening, my storyline will be finished by week's end, so I
await your guidance on the matter.

Azaziel -- Turf War's on, but let's not lose support for OUR arena.  Telorinthe
forever!  (Or, at least, a long time.) -- M.E.
P.S.  That goes for all of us here.  Hammer?  Are you all right, my friend?

                   by the alliance Captain they will represent.
               c.  Only one (1) team per player may compete.  No multiple teams or
                   aliases will be allowed.  Violations will result in immediate
                   disqualification from the Turf War (so be sure to take any
                   multiple teams OFF of Team Maintenance).
               d.  Scoring will NOT be retroactive for teams that do not properly
                   declare or fail to send a Gift Certificate by Turn 1.  In other
                   words, if your Gift Certificate is not received until Turn 3 of
                   the Turf War, and you have fought on Turns 1 and 2, your scoring
                   will not begin until Turn 3.  All conditions must be met before
                   scoring will begin--declaration, verification, and Gift
                   Certificate received.
               e.  No declarations or verifications will be accepted after Turn 5 of
                   the Turf War.
               f.  For purposes of scoring, the moderators will score the Turf War
                   and settle any and all disputes as they arise.  Their decisions
                   will be final.

Scoring will be as follows for Fights:
                Win   Loss   Kill      Die
Challenge        +2     -2     +5       -5
Match Up         +1     -1     +1       -5
Bloodfeud        +2     -5     +5      -10
Champion         x2     x2     x2       x2
Dark Arena*     +10     -5     xx       xx
*After 2nd win, warrior scores no points for wins

Special Scoring Considerations for the Turf War are as follows:
Spy Report mention (team name only)              +2
Style Master                                     +2
Duelmaster                                       +2

Champions:
     1.  A Champion may be declared, but one is not mandatory.
     2.  Only one Champion allowed per manager at any given time.
     3.  Champions that graduate or are killed by another warrior in the arena, but
         not the Dark Arena, may be replaced.
     4.  Champions must be in the Adepts bracket or lower on the turn they are
         declared, and may NOT have gone above Adepts level at any time; this
         includes teams transferred into North Fork for the Turf War.

Bloodfeuds:
        1.  Bloodfeuds will score points on all four (4) turns.
        2.  There is no limit to which warrior may bloodfeud or how often.

Tournament Considerations:
        1.  Tournament participation is ALLOWED and encouraged.
        2.  Tournament Victors won during the course of the contest will gain a one

            tournament results in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter (i.e., if the

            Fork turn 276 to the applicable teams).

Special Considerations:
        1.  Each alliance begins the Turf War with zero (0) points.
        2.  There will be NO alliance or team changes once the contest has begun.  If
            you begin the Turf War with Alliance A, you must end the Turf War with
            Alliance A.  If you begin the Turf War with Team A, you must end the Turf
            War with Team A.
        3.  There will be a maximum of seven (7) teams allowed per alliance for the
            Turf War.
        4.  The Dark Arena may be used on the first turn only, of every warrior,
            without penalty.
